I just got home after a few days away, put my bag down, took off one boot and put my foot in a puddle.
In the middle of my living room.
I look down and see that half of my carpet is soaking wet. The skirt on my couch is wet. WTF? Then I hear what sounds like a very small sprinkler coming from the furnace/water tank room.
Yup. One of the pipes sprung a leak. Looks like it's had time to make a mess. Fortunatly, my horrendous house keeping skills meant that my (was) clean laundry that I never put away helped stem the flow.
Now I'm waiting for plumbers to show up.
Fuck. |

Didn't get the academy of music and dance job. I've kept applying, of course, so hopefully something else will come up.
EDIT: I think I'd already kind of given up on this one in my heart, so it's not really as much of a let-down as it could have been. I'm dead sick of being unemployed, though. |

I have to thank ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shanmonster for this wonderful post forcing our once peaceful larp into violent and bloodthristy arena of Roe vs Wade.
I'm so passing Bill C-484a at our next council meeting. I'll make it a crime to 'harm' a orc fetus while it's still in the orc belly ,thus oppressing female orcs everywhere. |

| Weekend of awesomeness |
[Jul. 1st, 2008|08:50 pm] |
Epoch was a blast this weekend. I wasn't as active as I've been other events, as I spent a lot of time in and around the Inn, but still I had a great time. Magpie got to take some responsibility for some stuff this weekend which was kinda cool; didn't turn out the way she'd hoped... never trust Snout! Apparently the roleplaying I did with Magpie's boyfriend was so convincing that someone came up to Andrew after the event and told him, "You know Mary-Beth's married, right?" LOL Magpie also found out some interesting information this weekend that she needs to fully digest...
I had to work yesterday, which was kinda lame... but surprisingly I got a lot of work done, so it's not all bad. Kinda sucked that we didn't get to leave early, but still...
Last night Ray and I went to see Wall-E. It was so incredible! GO SEE IT! There's no actual dialogue for the first half hour or so of the movie, but Wall-E and Eve are so emotive that it doesn't matter. We ran into Kristy and Sheena at the movies last night and took the bus home with them. Also got them interested in our group trip to Avenue Q! I emailed DanCap today about the group ticket purchase so I should hear from them soon and arrange it all. We stayed up late last night, since I didn't have to work today.
Today, Ray and I slept in until about 11 am, which felt nice. Got up, had a shower, did some 'Net stuff, then went to Wendy's for lunch, then to see Wanted. OMG awesome! Very cool movie. We were a little nervous going in that it would be like Jumper, cool concept, not pulled off well... But it was fantastic! Great story line, great actors, great effects. We were also going to see Get Smart, but decided that spending the whole day in the movie theatre was not the best idea, even though it's a Tuesday and movies are half-price, and popcorn was half-price today, too... Ray and I walked part of the way home which was nice.
Ray's currently napping until Hell's Kitchen starts in a few minutes.
All in all it's been a good time... |

Soooooo we temporarily have Rock Band, because Kane and Terri are awesome. :D They bought the Wii version for themselves but since they don't actually have a Wii (yet, they're getting one soonish), it's living at our house for now, with the understanding that they come over to play whenever. :3 This is awesome all around because now I have something to play with while skjie's at work or whatever, and it means more excuses for Kane and Terri to visit. :D :D :D We played for several hours last night, I am sore in music-playing-muscles that do not usually get used. X_x
I'm going to go back to getting in touch with my inner rock star now. :D |

They had cops all over the place Saturday Night. Sunday morning the new owners told the door staff they will not be open this weekend. Something big happened. No word why or if DR will happen the weekend after. |

So every day I have to update something at work with a new funny quote.
You know what's really weird? The George Carlin quotes I can find online tend to be the most workplace appropriate. |

Insomnia liek whoa!
This blows.
I guess it's cuz I took a nap on Friday to try to get rid of my headache, then slept for about 12 hours Friday night/Saturday morning... which means that I got what my body probably now equates to two nights' sleep in one night... which I guess told my brain that I didn't need to sleep tonight.
I got home from work at about 10:40 pm, puttered around online, was interrupted by the sound of a baby raccoon in my drive way:
He followed me up the steps on the porch! I had to gently shoo him back down, because I could hear Momma hissing from up on the roof and didn't want her jumping on my head.
Then realised that I needed to update Magpie's notebook, so I worked on that... until about 3 am.
After that I couldn't fall asleep, no matter what I tried. I realised I hadn't eaten much, so went for a snack. Didn't help. Got my iPod to drown out the raccoons in the laneway and the pre-dawn birds. Didn't help. So I got up, and walked down to the park at the end of my street, hoping to watch the sun rise. Unfortunately the angle of the sun and the park at the end of my street don't line up... so I just played on the swing for a while, then walked back home.
Since I've been home I've uploaded some pix that have been sitting on my camera for a while, updated some Facebook albums, watched some classic TV (Student Bodies is on ShowCase at 6:30 am, who knew?), did my log-in for Epoch this weekend.
I'm also thinking about some letters that I want to write for Epoch... I may go do those next, since I've got to be "up" for church in about an hour anyway... |
